I'm looking for firsthand feedback on the RV Parks/Marinas in Nice,
California on Clear Lake.
1. Holiday Harbor Marina and RV Park
2. Sandpiper RV Park and Marina
3. Aurora's RV Park and Marina

What would it be like to camp at these places with a travel trailer?
How is the launch ramp?
General info on the parks?

Family of 4 with 2 young teens, 25 foot trailer, and 18 foot boat.

Thanks

Take a look at Clear Lake State Park near Lakeport. Nice big oak trees and
not too far to town.

Thanks. I know about the state park, but I want to find out about the rv
parks/marinas since they generally don't require a 7 month advance
reservation and they will make a same day reservation if a space opens up.
The state parks still require that you show up and hope for an available
space. Also, I prefer the uncrowded boating of upper lake east side
compared to the relatively crowded boating of the lower lake and west side
areas.

I wasn't too keen on the areas around the north end of the lake. For the
most part, the economy is very depressed and the crime rate is high with
vehicle vandalism, even at the better motels. There seems to be a lot of
squatters in the area in the RV parks.

As mentioned, the area around Lakeport is the nicest in terms of launch
facilities and general business.

For a good laugh, take your family to the "Clear Lake Bowling Alley." It's
just up the road from the police station. Just bring your camera.
Personally, I wouldn't allow my teens to interact with the general kid
population there in the parks - if you get what I mean.

We were just there for the Alan Jackson concert at the Konocti Harbor
Resort. During the show, there was a video montage of the area. I still
don't know if he was poking fun of the place or not.

The bass fishing is pretty good though.

The area is depressed economically with all the associated social ills
present and on display. It is, however, improving with the influx of second
home or vacation home immigrants and law enforcement continues it's efforts
against drug related crime.

As I said, I prefer to avoid the heavy drinking while boating and high
traffic area of the lower lake and west side regions. And Nice is the only
town I've found with non-residential Marina/RV parks (see earlier comment
state park and Lakeport does have a couple of decent launch ramps). So,
I'm just fishing for some first-hand reviews from anyone who has visited or
stayed at the following Clear Lake Marina/RV parks in Nice, California.

Holiday Harbor Marina and RV Park.
Sandpiper Marina RV Park
Aurora Marina RV Park
